arXiv:2607. 16387v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: An agent system's execution traces record how it fails, and procedures that improve such a system without changing model weights (trajectory selection, prompt and workflow optimization, runtime monitoring) read these traces for feedback.

arXiv:2607. 12790v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-evolving agent systems improve by creating, revising, and retiring their own skills, but every such loop rests on a hidden assumption: a reliable evaluation metric already exists.

arXiv:2608. 15565v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Experience-learning agents for optimization modeling improve by storing verified skills, but existing learners admit knowledge by checking against known answers, which real ticket streams do not provide.

arXiv:2607. 05297v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent LLM agents tackle increasingly long-horizon, open-ended tasks, and external skills, reusable procedural knowledge supplied to the agent, further extend this capability.

FedSkillGit is a federated framework that enables large language model agents to evolve reusable natural‑language skills without sharing raw data. Instead of uploading entire skill documents, clients submit bounded patches and local experience summaries, which are filtered for privacy, deduplicated, and merged into a global skill candidate. The server distributes the candidate for client‑side validation, publishing it only when performance improves, and experiments show it outperforms baselines by up to 22% while approaching centralized results.

The paper proposes typed federated artifacts—schema‑validated objects with per‑field privacy and dispute resolution—to enable tool‑routing knowledge sharing among frozen, heterogeneous LLM agents. By replacing flat text prompts with typed fields, the authors achieve near‑centralized routing performance on StableToolBench while reducing data size to 20 MB JSON per client. The study also highlights that a simple TF‑IDF classifier can outperform LLM routing on labeled benchmarks, indicating limitations in current evaluation methods.

arXiv:2606. 28374v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents are increasingly improved without weight updates by evolving a natural-language artifact, such as reflections, workflows, playbooks, cheatsheets, or optimized prompts, that conditions a frozen policy.

Abstract: Self-evolving agents are usually scored by endpoint Gain: held-out success after an update minus success before. That difference can credit a frozen re...

The paper introduces Zep Agent Skills, a production service that autonomously compiles and curates procedural memory for large language model agents by converting verified execution traces into versioned skills. It records each task attempt as a trace, uses a compiler with Reflector and Curator roles to transform verified traces into skills, and applies admission gates and search ranking based on verified outcomes. The open Agent Skills format, originally from Anthropic, allows any host to load compiled skills, and evaluation on several benchmarks shows significant performance gains for weaker executor models without additional training.
